Comment sont organisées les combinaisons de cordes sympathiques ? Peut-on imaginer un mode 'teleharmonic' sur Rings ?

Ce sont différentes combinaisons de quintes justes et d'octaves (donc rapports de fréquence 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6...), avec un portamento entre pour avoir des résultats dissonants.

Pour avoir une table d'accords plus "occidentaux", laisser le doigt appuyé longtemps sur le bouton de droite (il clignotte lorsque la deuxième table d'accords est active). On a alors le "power chord" au milieu, les accords majeurs à droite, mineurs à gauche.

Easter Egg

Rings Easter egg


First, set the knobs as follows: Frequency: fully ccw Structure: fully cw Brightness: fully ccw Damping: centre Position: fully cw

Attenuator knobs as per the image: Brightness: fully ccw Frequency: fully cw Damping: fully ccw Structure: fully cw Position: fully ccw

Once knobs are positioned, a long press on the polyphony button (the mode button seemingly works as well?) initiates an orange/red flashing pattern on both the polyphony and mode leds, and voila, some very nice organ/string machine sounds.

polyphony :

1 = fat chord (8 notes), but when a new chord starts (trigger on STRUM or a change on V/Oct), it cuts the previous chord.

2 = slimmer chord (6 notes), but when a new chord starts, the old chord can still be heard.

4 = even slimmer chord (3 notes), allowing several consecutive chords to overlap (very obvious with DAMPING near 3 o’clock).

Brightness scans through various arrangement of the drawbars, sorted by brightness. The available registers are 8’ “dark square”, 4’ “bright square”, 2’ “bright square”, 8’ saw, 4’ saw, 2’ saw. “dark square” and “bright square” are the round (low-passed square) and reedy (high-passed square) waveforms found in divider organs. Big big influence was the Roland RS-09. And disasterpeace. So yes, that’s 72 oscillators smile

IN : It goes into the FX (formant filter, chorus or reverb) - the amount of which is controlled by POSITION.
